registerColors

public void registerColors(String lookAndFeelClassNameRegex,
                           LookAndFeelColors colors)

Registers a new LookAndFeelColors. The lookAndFeelClassNameRegex is a regular expression. If a LookAndFeel is active whose class name matches lookAndFeelClassNameRegex, then colors becomes the selected source for colors.

lookAndFeelClassNameRegex - a description of a class name

colors - the new set of colors

Adds a listener which gets informed when a color of the current LookAndFeelColors changes. This listener gets not informed about any changes when the LookAndFeel itself gets replaced. This listener will automatically be transferred when another LookAndFeelColors gets selected.

Parameters:

listener - the new listener, not null

removeLookAndFeelColorsListener

public void removeLookAndFeelColorsListener(LookAndFeelColorsListener listener)

Removes a listener from this DockUI.
